Note that the school's own fee page headlines a higher figure, AED 17,740 to 30,830, under the heading "Total Fee": that column adds books and uniform to the tuition shown here.

An exam and resource fee of AED 341 (KG) or AED 656 (Grades 1 to 12) is charged on top, and is not included in the school's Total Fee either.
